“The Ottawa Spotlight”

OTTAWA SPOTLIGHT
Oltawa, October 10 —. The Canadian
farmer will play an important role in
the war. The problem just now
how to plan production when the fut-
tue is still s obscure. Departments
of Agriculture, colleges and technical
agricuiturists are grappling with the
matter but they admit the limitations
of present knowledge. A conference
Was held at Otawa last week and the
whoic field surveyed as carefully as
possible, <A few general propositions
can be laid down with some confidence

Several definite stepps to control
prices and markets in specific commod
ities have already been taken, and
others are planned,

The wheat farmer ig profoundly ccn-
cerned, of course, with a heavy crop
just harvested. The situation has
many awkward angles. All British
buying is in the hands of J. Rank, the
British miller. It appears that as
part of the economic war against Ger-
many surpluses are Leing lifted from
the Balkans and other. other areas
Which might supply the enemy. Prices
somewhat above the world market are
being paid to attract this wheat.

(Lowers Canadian Demand)

Meanwhile, of course, this lessens
the demand upon Canadian wheat. Ex-
ports to all countries in the first two
montis of the war were only twenty:
two millions. October is usually the
big export month but the submarine
menace and Britain's buying policy
may delay shipments,

The statistical position does not en-
courage a belief in «a sharp rise in
wheat prices If left alone, the mar-
ket would probably not go up tor a
while. There is a strong sentiment
across the continent, however, against
continuing to sell wheat even to Brit-
ain, at a figure below the cost of pro-
duction, The first decision of the gov-
ernment was to let the 70 cent mini-
mum price ride, and to leave the Win-
nipeg market nominally open, ‘This
policy may be revised later, A pract-
ical difficulty will arise if a higher

is

minimum price is set before the sea-

son ends, because many farmers are
accepting the open market price and
will feel victimized if later on the
government minimum ig raised. Those
who sell to the board, o1 course, part-
icipte in any additiotai returns,

The long view for wheat is _ better,
though highly obscure, Much depends
on the extent of war's ravages in
Europe, In the last war over 10 mil-

NOTE AND COMMENT

The suggestion is made that Prem-
ier Duplesis of Quebec is right in
claiming that federal politicians at-
tacked his provincia: padlock law.
The fact is that the federal govern-
ment might have vetoed it and didn't,

lion acres went out ot wheat produc
tion on that continent. Britain and
France are plowing up pasture land to
plant potatoes, sugar beets and other
bulky foods. This will reduce their
supply of fats, of bacon milk, cheese,
beef, etc, More of these things will
thus have to be imported from abroad.

Agricultural economists here do not
seem to expect an increase in Canad-
jan wheat acreage as a result of War.
Rather a relative increase in the price
of hogs and bacon, lamb and mutton,
wool, beef, horses, etc. should tend to
decrease it. In the semi-arid ranching
country some land may go buck to
grazing. In the park and black soil
country there will be alternative
crops which may pay better than
wheat. This may be true, also, in the
irrigated lands. Moreover, coarse
grains for feeding may go up in price
and cause some switching from wheat.
More wheat will be fed if it stays re-
latively iow,

Apples and Cheese—

First effects of war demoralized the
apple market and the cheese market,
and steps were taken io bolster the
apple market, The authorities are af-
raid a low relative price for cheese
may induce many farmers to abando.
its production in fwvor of butter,
cream, powdered milk and whole milk.
They believe cheese will be needed
badly later on, and if allowed to col
lapse, the cheese industry may be un-
able to revive itself and meet demands
However, prices are again somewhat
better, The situation is being closely
watched,

In the last war things were left al-
one for the most part, and the irregu--
lar and extremely sharp rise in farm
prices caused distortions and over-
productions which hac a grave post-
war effect upon Canadian agriculture,
Any government planning which is
done in this war will be carried out
with one eye on postwar conditions,

The one commodity which the gov-
ernment appears completely contideat
should be boosted without hesitation
is hog products. Bacon will be = in
great demand, it is believed, Natural
ly this will make a beavy call on bar-
ley, wheat, and other feeding produete,

The possibility if a shortage of
seeds, bulbs, etc, especially those nor-
mally imported trom abroad, is being
dealt with. Wastes due to parasites,
insects, pests, etc., wil! be attacked
wih special vigor. Farm planning is
being stressed.

300 Steer Hides Needed
To Make One Belt

The largest leather belt in Canada
has just been installed at the plant of

the Ogilvie Flour Mill in Medicine
Hat,
The hides of three hundred inno-

cent steers went into the making of

this belt, reverting to the ancient
practice of turning the mill that
ground the wheat not, this time, by

gently plodding around a large pair
stones, but by flying at sixty miles an
hour around a twenty-two foot pulley.

There are three plies in this belt,
each 72 inrhes wide, It has a length
of 125 feet and weighs exactly one
ton,

The old

which this replaces,
and

belt,
a source of interest
wonderment to visitors to the mill,
forty-live years it did its duty,
The new belt is expected to function
for as long or longer, during which
time the 300 steers used in teh making
of it will confer far greater blessings
on mankind than they ever could have
done in a short and gay life on the
hoof,

While co-operation in the west had
stressed the economic side, educators
were much more interested in co-oper-
ation as a philosophy of life. With the

tension department aimed to multiply
rural leadership. He ‘Illustrated the re-
